Bean Bush Baby Lima Henderson Organic HEIRLOOM Seeds

Phaseolus lunatus

Item #3021

65 days. These white, small “baby” lima beans
have a delicious flavor, and mature
earlier than most limas. This bush
lima will be loaded with pods — quite
productive! And believe us, the flavor
is not what you remember your mom
feeding you as a kid; fresh lima beans
taste incredible! Can be eaten fresh,
frozen, or dried.
